Any difference between them (except that one use wind and the other Sun)? Most guides I have seen only talks about Wind panels so I wonder if there are any specific problems with solar panels?

Harvester in general: What are the benefits of the larger harvesters?

On my server (Scylla) I've noticed that not many people purchase solar power for some reason.

*shrug*

Solar generators have a max output of 8 units per minute and have the same maintenance costs as the wind harvester. Both only take up one lot and the about the same amount of physical world space. Solar are more expensive to build, but I have 4 of them up and running and am producing an excess of 30k energy a day. I'm currently stockpiling the excess and plan on re-deeding the generators with the next solar resource shift and using those lots for more mineral extractors for low grade ore. I can build up a stockpile to last me a couple of weeks of energy that way.

I have 3 wind and 3 solar. Right now, my winds are producing more than my solar due to the concentrations of wind/solar resources at my mine site.
